ABSTRACT
It is always a good plan to have some jokes or anecdotes in hand when actors go for an interview or audition, as it gives them a solid performance to fall back on if required. Do not attempt to launch a joke unless one has an absolutely rock-solid punch line and know that they can recall it with relish. Jokes are often broken into three elements; in fact the magic number three is something actors come across all the time in plots and texts. The old Englishman, Irishman, Scotsman jokes were, and probably still are, very popular. Anecdotes, as opposed to jokes, are usually of your own making and based on a real-life experience. Never worry that they have to be completely accurate. The really important thing to remember with an anecdote is that, like a joke, strong, and surprising tagline. The tagline should be considered with great care and chosen deliberately word by word for maximum effect.
